* \struct IPAFrameContext
- * \brief Per-frame context for algorithms
+ * \brief Context for a frame

* The frame context stores data specific to a single frame processed by the
* IPA. Each frame processed by the IPA has a context associated with it,
* accessible through the IPAContext structure.
*
- * \todo Detail how to access contexts for a particular frame
- *
- * Each of the fields in the frame context belongs to either a specific
- * algorithm, or to the top-level IPA module. A field may be read by any
- * algorithm, but should only be written by its owner.
+ * Fields in the frame context should reflect values and controls
+ * associated with the specific frame as requested by the application, and
+ * as configured by the hardware. Fields can be read by algorithms to
+ * determine if they should update any specific action for this frame, and
+ * finally to update the metadata control lists when the frame is fully
+ * completed.
